Pengolodh
The Sindarin name Pengolodh is glossed as "'teaching sage', doctor of lore". The Quenya version of his name was Quendingoldo or Quengoldo. Pengolodh consists of the words pen and golodh.[source?] Pengolodh also appears spelled Pengolod, Pengoloð, Pengoloth, and Pengoloþ — the ending in all cases representing the voiced same sound.[source?]
The great Sindarin Lambengolmo (linguist), the purported author of much of Tolkien’s linguistic writings (PM/395, WJ/396). His name is simply pengolodh “teacher of lore” used as a name (PE17/139-140).
Conceptual Development: In Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s, his name was N. Pengolod, where various footnotes indicate he may have been the author, or at least the compiler, of the Silmarillion itself (LR/113, 228, 277-278). The final -d matches the orthographic conventions of this period, where [ð] was sometimes represented by d (PE22/34, 67). In some later writings, Tolkien considered changing his name to Thingódhel (WJ/419 note #25).
